Frank Bainimarama has been given another four years in power after winning the Fiji election.
Mr Bainimarama's FijiFirst party has been allocated 27 seats giving it a three seat majority in the 51 seat parliament.
The party lost ground after a landslide victory four years ago when it won two thirds of the seats.

The National Federation Party has retained its three seats in parliament.
"I'm proud to become your prime minister once again," Mr Bainimarama told FBC News from Auckland where he had been attending his brother's funeral.
Fiji went to the polls on Wednesday in only the second election since the 2006 coup.
